For over twenty years, Cattani has been carrying out research to bring you state-of-the-art technology.
The primary purpose of research is always to improve our products: building machines that are increa-
singly fl exible, safer, less expensive in terms of purchasing costs as well as running and maintenance
costs. Cattani has also pursued a development pathway based on scientifi c and technological research,
with focus on sustainable growth and technical solutions to enable savings of raw materials and energy.
Maxi-Smart is a dental suction control unit recommended for 15 dental units in operation simultaneously.
Description:
• The centrifugal separator replaces both the separator tank and the drainage pump; this reduces
space requirements and major maintenance operations;
• the amalgam separator is integrated with the centrifugal separator at the top of the suction unit and
next to the primary fi lter, two features that facilitate ordinary maintenance operations;
• for units with cover, the suction unit is encased and soundproofed, with residual sound pressure of
68 dB(A) at 75 Hz;
• the electrical control unit contains both the inverter (VSD) and a small computer;
• the programme enables optional control of head and fl ow rate;
• Maxi-Smart is the fi rst wet system constructed as a single unit;
• Maxi-Smart is the fi rst of its kind anywhere in the world: it is the fi rst large suction unit that in addition
to head can control fl ow rate;
• with Maxi-Smart simultaneous use of multiple surgeries no longer means reduced performance due
to the fact that as demand increases, the fl ow rate is automatically and instantly increased.
Eco-sustainability
The Maxi-Smart electrical control unit is complete with inverter (VSD) and a small computer with
software. VSD and Software reduce motor stress, maintain head constantly at the programmed value
and adapt the fl ow rate in real time according to demand.
Maximum power savings are achieved when the system is under-utilised: this is the time when a fi xed-
speed motor is subjected to the greatest stress: demand decreases, power absorption increases and
the motor overheats.
With variable speed suction on the other hand, when demand decreases, the VSD and software com-
bination decreases motor speed and consequently decreases power absorption, so power saving is
proportional to the actual suction demand.
